Jackson

Nollie Jackson Sr., 99, of Jackson died Sept. 26, 2013.

He was born to the late Pearlie Williams and Orie Jackson on Sept. 17, 1914 and raised by his aunt and uncle Elizabeth and John Calyon. He was affectionately known as “Buffalo” to some and “Bud” to others. He was a retired logger. He loved watching wrestling and westerns.

He played a vital role in the community as he helped every family at one point in time. On many occasions, he volunteered to help dig graves. Even after his health failed and he could no longer assist with the labor, he was still called upon when questions arose. He was known for sitting under the tree telling tales of his youth, some funny, others sad as he lived through the great depression. Many turned to him for needed family history as he was the oldest resident in the Rockville community. He will be well remembered and was loved by all.
